    Late Sunday 6.30 ish,
    Corsair 1 mile east Boreham disused and skirting around Stanted zone
    followed quite late by the Catalina which must of made a late landing at Duxford as she passed us about 19.30.
    Both aircraft were well throttled back and around 1’400 foot.

    Hi Moggs,
    No nothing, very vague, but the chap said they were very fast but quiet, I thought Typhoon but he said no, and black! very strange. UFO maybe ?

    I wonder if TFC have bought them

    I thought TFC were not interested in Swastika aircraft

    Hopefully an oil pipe letting go, blue smoke got to be oil and if shut down oil on a hot engine = smoke
    Great work guys, back on the ground all safe and sound with hopefully the worst case an engine change.

    Magneto,

    I was under the understanding he had them in liew of wages

    David, I was told the same thing that connie and his crew were owed from the film and rather than take a chance of not getting paid he took the basically scrap buchons, A good investment I think and also saved them because I am sure Spitfire productions in 1968 woud of had trouble moving them on for much money at all.

    My first Spitfires would of been
    1, North Weald in the early 60s maybe.
    2, Biggin Gate Guardian late 60s.
    3, I did pass North Weald on the bus when filming of the Battle of Britain 1968.
    4, But I feel the first where I remember a display was at Halfpenny Green when Adrian Swires MH434 in the capable hands of Ray Hannah, it was a military show I think, very early 1970’s
